Incredible INTECH and Mini Lecture at Southampton University

What a busy time we've been having in year 5 recently! Yesterday we had another fantastic trip as part of our Up, Up and Away topic. We started the day by visiting the INTECH Science Centre in Winchester. The children loved having the opportunity to be 'hands-on' with dozens of different science experiments. After that we were treated to a show inside INTECH's planetarium. We heard all about our Solar System, about stars and constellations and how the Earth spins in its axis. It was brilliant!

In the afternoon we went to another University, this time Southampton University and had a lecture by a professor who works there all about Space. It was thoroughly entertaining and we discovered lots of new information which will help us with our topic work.

Well done to all of year 5 for having a great day and being brilliantly well behaved!
